The Portuguese manager returned to take charge of Chelsea for a second time in June 2013.

His previous tenure was a huge success, after he guided the club to two Premier League titles, two League Cups and the FA Cup during a three-year stay.

Mourinho has already won the Capital One Cup this season, and more success is set to follow, with Chelsea seven points clear at the summit of the top flight, with a game in hand.

Despite his high-profile personality and huge success at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho says he's allowed to go about his private business in peace in London - something he was not afforded during his other managerial roles.

“They have a notion that people need space, that people deserve respect. If I am disturbed it is always by non-English people”

“I think people in London understand what it is to disturb and not to disturb," he told the Telegraph.

"They have a notion that people need space, that people deserve respect. If I am disturbed it is always by non-English people.

"The English people in the restaurant, of course they want an autograph or a selfie, but they wait until I finish my meal. Go to a shop, they wait – they don’t come when I’m choosing my socks.

"And walking in the street I have the same feeling. It is impossible in London that somebody would disturb because of a negative result when you are walking in the street with your family. Impossible! In Madrid, Milan – always.”
